Yes, well, my radio listening and my big-band and salsa CDs transfered onto iPod is all I hear. On the radio, it's KUSI (the only "classical" station still in LA), KRTH (mainly 60's and 70's rock), Jack-FM (most of which I have no idea what's playing and which I tune out almost as quickly as I tune out sports -- I sure do miss ARRO and K-Eagle, whose mural in San Diego got painted-over years ago), and Sonido and Super-Estrella for salsa and Rock en Español.
¡No hay nada en la radio!

My mom is staying with us for a couple of nights (and to be fair in the wake of the recent in-law "scare," I offered DH the option of staying elsewhere). She's home now, alone, and I think she's bored. She just called and asked if there's anything around the house she could do for us.

Unfortunately, we cleaned before she got there, so that eliminates cleaning as a possible answer. I suggested she look after the plants, but there's only two of them, so that won't take long. (And they're still alive, so what all could she do with them anyway?) I'm tempted to ask her to get dinner started, but that just seems rude.

Why is it that when I have someone I trust offering to do things around the house that I can't think of anything? lol.

Hmmm...I suppose I could ask her to clean the cats' nose prints off the windows...that would keep her occupied for a bit... Problem is, the cleaning supplies are in our bathroom...and I don't much fancy her going into our bedroom and bathroom w/o "parent-proofing" it first.

Caught the darn critter in my attic. Hope that it is the only one. What I do is check only once every day which ensures that the thing is dead. That way I don't need to worry about releasing and it coming back. I gave the shed to them and they came into my house. Now it's all out war! I'm taking the shed back as well.

It's 2am but I really don't want to go to sleep AGAIN. I'm so tired of sleeping all the time. Bleh. Such a waste of time! Instead I will write yet another lab report (YAWN) and moisturize my poor hands again because they feel like sandpaper. Don't ask me why, I've been pretty much soaking them in moisturizers. Silly hands.
I want to eat. A steak would be nice. Oooh, and a basket of potatoes! Oh MAN do I miss TGI Fridays. I'm sorely tempted to grab a friend and go to Covent Garden just for that.

Noooooo!!!! I love my kitties!!! And they provide so much entertainment. I have "conversations" with them, they're always fun to insult, it's wonderful b/c if I "kick" them (no, we don't actually kick our cats...we tap *very lightly* with our toes) they'll meow. Well, one will meow without fail (the trick is getting him to be quiet)...we're trying to get the other one to speak. And it's fun to put them in the empty laundry basket and carry it around--especially stairs.

I am extremely happy! I didn't realize that my dance instructor had called my cell phone since mine is not working correctly (hoping to get a new one tomorrow), so I called and set up a lesson for tomorrow on my one day off! I'm so looking forward to dancing again. I need exercise. You don't get any exercise sitting in front of a computer all day. In fact, he won't be happy my posture is probably worse than it was when I left him awhile back!!! Oh well. Now... hopefully I'll remember the steps. I haven't forgotten my Waltz routine, but... that doesn't mean I'll do it right this time around. Either way, I'm looking forward to it! Wohoo!

There seems to be a lot of cat owner / lovers on this site, myself included.

Count me in - there is an exceedingly large black/white one hovering on the back of the sofa about to decend on my lap - so I have to type fast since there is no room for the cat and the computer..... Oh, by the way, the orange one, who is careful to sit next to you and share, just left. Oh, oh... got to hit.... submit......

Went grocery shopping. Oh, the joy of having food in your kitchen! Endless possibilities beyond plain pasta! Just cooked a great omelet with some pita bread on the side and a baguette sandwich with Milanese salami and mozzarella (okay, that I didn't really need to eat, but I've got team practice so I need all my strength ). *sigh* Life is good when you've got groceries.

I'll agree about the food part. Lots of great stuff, and even better when you can get organic at a resaonable price - equivalent to regular conventiional produce.

someone found my recipe blog, made a live soup, took a picture of it, stuck it in her signature on another forum with a thank you for the recipe... now if that just ain't all get-out... totally tickled...
